Project timelines on the chart below are estimates and subject to change. Please check back for periodic updates.

Bedford Euless Road

Project Overview

This project will reconstruct the roadway from just east of Boulevard 26 to Strummer Drive with reinforced concrete pavement. Underground utility and storm drain improvements will also be made and sidewalks will be added to the south side of the roadway where they are currently missing. Based on the Vision 2030 Transportation Plan recommendation the roadway will be reduced from the current 5 lanes to a 3-lane configuration. Although the roadway will be reduced between intersections, it will widen back up to the existing number of lanes and configuration at the Davis/26 and Strummer intersections to accommodate vehicle queuing during peak drive times. 

While Bedford Euless was originally a major east-west thoroughfare, construction of the 121/183/820 flyover, which was completed in 2000, routed many vehicles off of Bedford Euless. The North Tarrant Express improvements completed on NE Loop 820 in 2015 further reduced traffic on Bedford Euless Road. A 2019 traffic study showed 8,700 vehicles per day on Bedford Euless. The Vision 2030 Transportation Plan forecasted traffic volumes for the next two decades of under 11,000 vehicles per day, with peak directional volumes of under 700 vehicles per hour, which can be accommodated by one traffic lane in each direction with a center turn lane. This projection did account for potential commercial redevelopment along the corridor and at Richland Center on the east end of the corridor.

A construction contract with Quality Excavation, LLC was awarded at the April 25, 2022 City Council Meeting. Construction on this project began in September 2022, after Atmos Energy replaced their gas pipeline along Bedford Euless.

Current Status

Traffic is reduced to one lane in each direction on the south side of the roadway while construction takes place on the north half of the roadway. Colorado Boulevard and Strummer Drive remain closed at Bedford Euless Road. The contractor is finalizing a few remaining punch list items for drainage and paving on the north phase and anticipates switching traffic to the newly paved concrete section and beginning construction of the south side of Bedford Euless by the end of this year.  At that time, all residential side streets will be open to normal traffic.  Businesses on Bedford Euless Road continue to be accessible. We anticipate there being a period of one-way traffic when the final concrete lanes are poured.

Glenview Drive

Project Overview

Glenview Drive, which carries over 25,000 vehicles per day, will be reconstructed from Honey Lane to the western city limit and from Boulevard 26 to Flory Street. The existing 4-lane asphalt roadway will be replaced with reinforced concrete pavement. The road will be rebuilt to its current width.  Sidewalk improvements and underground utility improvements will also be made. (Note: The funding for Glenview Drive East from Boulevard 26 and Flory is 2003 general obligation bonds and the Tarrant County 2021 Transportation Bond Program.) Engineering design work is completed. A gas pipeline improvement project was recently completed by Atmos. Coordination of the gas pipeline work immediately prior to the city's roadway project will significantly reduce the need for disruptive maintenance or repair of aging underground facilities once the new street is in place.

Current Status

 At their Oct. 23, 2023 meeting, the City Council awarded construction contracts. Reliable Paving will reconstruct Glenview Drive from Boulevard 26 to Flory Street. Quality Excavation will reconstruct Glenview Drive from Honey Lane to the western city limit. Construction start dates are being determined and will be shared as soon as available. Text Glenview to 888777 to receive lane closure and construction updates.

Iron Horse Boulevard East 

Project Overview

This project will reconstruct Iron Horse Boulevard from Rufe Snow Drive to York Street. The existing roadway will be replaced with reinforced concrete pavement and sidewalks will be added where currently missing. Based on the Vision 2030 Transportation Plan recommendation, the bulk of the roadway will be reconfigured to a wide two-lane configuration with a raised median. This project is being funded in part by a $4.2 million grant from the Economic Development Administration (EDA).  At their January 23, 2023 meeting, the City Council approved a contract with The Fain Group, Inc., for the reconstruction of Iron Horse Boulevard East and the contract was forwarded to the EDA for their approval. Officials held a groundbreaking for the grant-funded project on April 11, 2023 and construction began the same week. The project is expected to take about 14 months to complete.

Current Status

Starting Sept. 11, Iron Horse Boulevard will be reduced to one lane that is westbound only between Rufe Snow Drive and York Street. Eastbound motorists must use an alternate route such as Mid Cities Boulevard. The eastbound closure will allow contractors to conduct paving operations, while providing better safety for workers and motorists. The paving work is estimated to take 6 to 7 months to complete. Please slow down and watch for workers in this area.  Text Ironhorse to 888777 to receive lane closure and construction updates.

Iron Horse Boulevard West

Project Overview

This project will reconstruct Iron Horse from Rufe Snow Drive to Browning Drive. The existing 4-lane roadway will be replaced with reinforced concrete pavement and sidewalks will be added where currently missing.  At their May 17, 2023 meeting, the City Council approved a contract with XIT Paving and Construction, Inc., for construction.

Current Status

 Work will begin on July 10, 2023. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction in the construction zone. Text Ironhorse to 888777 to receive lane closure and construction updates.

Lariat Trail 

Project Overview

This project will reconstruct two segments of Lariat Trail from Meadow Lakes Drive to Riviera Drive and from Circle View Court to the dead end with reinforced concrete pavement. Additionally, an asphalt overlay will be completed on the section of Lariat Trail between Riviera Drive and Circleview Drive. Sidewalks will be added.  The road will be reconstructed within the existing right-of-way in its current roadway configuration.

Current Status

Engineering design services were completed by Multatech Engineering, Inc. At their Oct. 9, 2023 meeting, the City Council awarded a construction contract to McClendon Construction. They are expected to begin construction in January 2024.  Text Lariat to 888777 to receive project updates.

Main Street

Project Overview

This project will reconstruct Main Street from Amundson Drive to Amundson Road. The existing roadway will be replaced with reinforced concrete pavement and sidewalks will be added where currently missing.  Additionally, the City has received a grant to reconstruct Main Street from Smithfield to Davis Blvd.

At their March 20, 2023 meeting, the City Council approved a contract for engineering design services with Peloton Land Solutions, Inc. for the section of Main Street between Amundson Drive and Amundson Road.  We anticipate going out for construction bids for this project in early 2024. At the Oct. 9, 2023 meeting, an engineering design contract for the section of Main Street from Smithfield to Davis was also awarded to Peloton Land Solutions.
